Questions About Dubai Travel Rules

Maria asks…

If i travel as a tourist to Dubai. What sort of clothes am i allowed to wear?

Are theyre any strict rules covering up?

admin answers:

I live in Dubai and anything goes. In the daytime people walk around in vest tops and shorts or jeans and in the evening out in the bars and clubs it would give any other metropolitan city a run for its money. Just understand that Ramadan is due to start Oct 14th for one month and during Ramadan it is better to be a little more conservative ie tshirts and trousers rather than short skirts etc but even then there are no rules enforcing this.

Richard asks…

Do you like the city Dubai? Would you still want to travel there even if the law is heavily enforced?

Couples get arrested for showing public affection over here. It has very strict rules

It is wrong. You can travel to dubai. But you have to make arrangement with airline that you are traveling alone and make sure you got a visa to enter dubai. Emirates airline can help you on it.www.emirates.com

air travel layover rules?

hey i plan to travel to US in feb-march. i want to know if i should buy tickets with longer layovers at different airports?
if i get a ticket on an airline that flys from (eg) say mumbai, to dubai stops there for the night, and then continues to fly to new york the nextday (overnight layover) do the airlines provide any accomodations to stay for the night or are we on our own?
are we allowed to get out of the airport(if we have 6-10 hrs of layover in say london), and go sight seeing or something, even if we do not have visa for that country and are just passing through?

admin answers:

The airport will not provide accommodations for an overnight layover - you're on your own for that. Most airports have hotels very close by, with free shuttles.

If you do not have the proper travel documents for a country, then you won't be able to leave the airport there. You will have to go through customs and all that just to sightsee for a few hours, so you will need proper documentation. In addition, you'll have to go back through security when you return. And, many airports are fairly far from the tourist attractions in various cities. All told, you might not have a lot of sightseeing time, even with a 6-10 hour layover.

Chronic Hepatitus and UAE Visa Rules?

I have been in Dubai 3 months ago for a job on employment visa in DIFC free zone. I was rejected resident visa bcz of Hepatitus B. Now on my new job I am required to travel to Dubai for a series of meeting for a month (max). I have visited dubai at least 20 times before my resident visa rejection.Now my question is can I get the Visit Visa now or do Dubai immigration has some different rules.
Thanks and Regards

admin answers:

If you have Hepatitis B, you will not be able to work in any of the GCC countries as there will be a medical checkup for all new expatriate employees. As for a visit visa, that'll be fine as there is no medical checkup required.
